What do I need to vote in the general election?

To vote in Florida's general election, you need to be registered to vote (the deadline for the 2026 election was Oct. 5).

You need to bring an ID with a valid photo and a signature, such as:

  • Florida driver's license
  • Florida ID card
  • U.S. Passport
  • Debit or Credit Card
  • Military ID
  • Student ID
  • Retirement center ID
  • Neighborhood association ID
  • Public assistance ID
  • Veteran health ID card
  • Government ID

While your voter information card has good information on it, such as your polling precinct on Election Day, it will not be accepted as a form of ID.

Where do I vote? Find your polling location

On Election Day, voters must cast their ballot at their assigned polling location. To find yours, you need to visit your county's Supervisor of Elections website. Type in your name and address, and it will then tell you where your polling site.
